governor romney is also hinting of debate fatigue and, yes, governor perry is right that ideology does tend to come first in gop contests. the truth is, republicans see a golden opportunity to defeat president obama but they know it won't be easy. and they know the incumbent is a strong debater, which makes ducking debates a dangerous risk for governor perry. it would only reinforce the impression he has left from his recent debate performances, which is not a good impression. the high tv ratings for all of these early debates so far tell you republicans are watching closely. it's a simple truth that in a close general election race the debates next october will matter and perry's top rivals based on the evidence so far seem much more up to the challenge. if nothing else, governor perry needs the practice. important news tonight from one of the most important u.s. allies in the middle east, a country with lots of oil. ctric? uh, it is, yeah, it's a chevy volt. so what are you doing at a gas station? well it still takes gas to go farther. but you're not getting gas. true. not this time.
